KAWEAK WAS& SUR PRISED.
So Were his SOU avs, and They All
Incontinent Iy Skedaddled.



Bank COmmisSiO ner Potts of Los An
geles had an anus, ing experience in the
gold times of Calf Drnia. The story as
told to Herald epOrter, runs as fol
lows:
In the early day s OF the gold excite
ment, before man OF the young men of
the present day w ere born, N 7. Potts and
his partner, DO n miners, put their
heads together md decided that there
was probably gold at the head waters of
the San joaquin. They thought it would
be well to inve stiGate the matter, and
accordingly they set out. In due time
they arrived.
They discov Ared deep hole in the
led of one of the forks, and they con-
cluded that if there was gold anywhere
in the bed IF the stream it was in that
hole. TheT tried diving to reach the
bottom, bltG the water was too deep, and
they found themse Ives in dilemma.
Mr.. Potts partner bethought him of
diving suit in San Francisco that he
could procure, and the decision was
reached that he go and bring it. This
be did, All wing with it after a time.
Those WHO have seen diving suit are
aware of Il le frightful appearance of
man array ID in it. The front of the
headpiece is large circular pane of
glass that gives the wearer the appear
ancs of hidious Cyclops. From the
top of the head runs rubber tube for
supplying air to the diver, and there is
also rope attached for hauling him up.
Mr.. POTTS partner arfayed himself lin
the suit. Lying across the hole was
fallen tree, and Mr.. Potts and his part
ner walked out upon the log, and the
partner slipped down into the water
and was instantly out of sight, Mr..
Pott holding the rope by which to hold
him up. The agreed signal was jerk
on the rope.
While Mr.. Potts was thus sitting on
the log and holding the rope he APP
reared TO be fishing with stout line
fOr big fish. He was tins engaged
wlssu Grief Kaweah and his squaws
ca1r2s d1wn from the mountains, where
they hal been gathering nuts. He
stoDueeL and thus addressed Mr.. Potts
''Yoa ketchum tish!'
,"No, Rot YETI was the reply, ''but
/ expec& Il bite pr city soon."
The OLD chief W rs evidently much in
teresteti in the scene, and without more
ado he .squatted Of the bank and await
ed devel opments, his numerous wives
following his example.
Pretty soon there came a jerk on the
rope that rippied tlle surface of the wa
ter. Kaweah J ecs me greatly excited
when he saw NJ. E'otts pulling heavily
on the line, and the old chief got to his
feet and watched the procedure with
the deepest interest. Presently the mon
ster of the deep came to the surface
with its hidious Cyclopean eye turned
in Kaweah's directi IN.
"Ugh!" shouted lhe old warrior and
then he and his b arem turned tail and
fed panic stricken over the plains.

Terre Haute'S Maidstone.


Tho Indianapolis journal says:
"Tcrre Haute's maidstone, with its
eighty years record of hundreds of APP
plications, has twice more been used
within the past week. Mr.. JAS. Walker,
of Irving's Station, on the indianapolis
and ST. Louis, in Illinois, brought his
little girl here yesterday. She had been
bitten by dog that showed every sign
of being rabid. Tho stone would not
adhere, and us its record shows that no
death ever resulted when the stone
failed to adhere, the father went away
satisfied.
"a few days ago Miss Hoover, of
Newman, ILL.,, was brought here terribly
lacoratod by the bites of a dog that had
died with rabies, and had bitten other
dogs that also died, us supposed, from
the same disease. The stone immcdi-

The Grocery Clerk.

After mature consideration I have
come IL the conclusion that the grocery
clerk isoHc of the hardest worked men
in any line OF trade. He must be up by
daylight, which ut this time of the year
appear Mt 4 or o'clock, and he is
lucky j by any chance he can finish his
work BY $50 at night. During all that
time tie industrious grocery clerk Is
never ale. Junior clerk, or beginners,
receive the princoly sum of 81 week
and bard, while those more expert
enced,if they get 81 or IS a week and
board, may consider themselves lucky.
Since the establishment of tho Walla-
bout Market the labor of Brooklyn
grocer clerks has been considerably
lighteied. They arc not obliged to rise
N% early as formerly, but seldom day
passes that they do not work from four

Bank Wrecker Harper's Wife.
rTrom the Cincinnati Enouirer.1


In ell this trouble and disaster the
beatifc love and devotion of a noble
woman shines with lustre that causes
the world to bow in reverence before the
shrine of the gentler sex. Mrs. Harper,
the wife of the Fidelity President,
was Mt her home on Fourth street when
she was startled by the lrsty cries of the
newsboys, ARREST of e. l.. Harper !"
Her woman's heart took alarm at once,
and with the utmost haste she flew to
the bank. She stood before the stern
policensan, and with the tears streaming
down her checks begged admittance. No
one could resist that appeal, and in
moment she had thrown her arms about
her hlebands neck and gave him the
kisses constancy and faith and I'M
changing love. A gentleman who knows
her said: 'Mrs. Harper is n magnificent
woman She is the greatest consolation
to her husband in this hour of trouble
She is swife who will never upbraid him.
She vii not taunt him why did you
do it 2 But from the beginning she has
been tie haven of rest and comfort III
trial and distress. There are no better
or uncomfortable other sex. Her caresses
and noble counsel will buoy him up and
give hin hope, and when all his other
wealth Is gone he should still be proud
in the possession of such an estimable
treasure.
Ever man and woman in Cincinnati
will haze word of sympathy and praise
for Mr.. E. L. Harper. The devotion
of woman IN adversely is almost equal
to thatgrcat love which passeth under
standing.

Mr. STANTON, whose decease was re-
Gently noted, said that his wife, Eliza
beth Cady, was convinced that her sex
did not want suffrage and was done
with agitation. This statement is rem
dered probable by the fact that only
about 80 per cent of the woman's vote
of 1885, in the city of Chicago, was cast
in 1885. None the less however, Sister
Stanten warns Senators Brown and
Cockell for their sneaking admission on
the "cHimney corner letter." which they
put forth as more solid than any reason
they could sdduce why suffrage should
not be granted women.

CRIMINAL REFoRmAToRY.

The urgent demand for a reformatory
for youthful criminals In Texas Is echoed
by every Journal In the state. The pub
lie sentiment on this subject Is singular
ly unanimous, and It Is confidently ex-
pected that this matter will receiy, the
careful attention Of the legislature. II 10
quite safe to say that no matter VIII
come before the Texas lawmakers this
winter that will call for the exercise OF
more good, hard sense than will this
matter OF reformatory. Side BY side
with ii should come considerations OF
prison reform. for the benefit and re-
clamstion OF older offenders. TO practi-
oslly devise and wisely execute SO that
really beneficial results shall follow at
trmpts at criminal reformation, Ia the
most difficult work given to the legisls-
ton OF this century. In few isolated
cases some real work OF reform has BEEN
accomplished, but generally speaking,
all that prisons have done for criminals
is TO harden them; all that courts have
en- able to do In the last exigency 10
to hang them. Ii does seem tnat the hu-
manitsrianism, and philanthropy, and
lauded christianity OF this nineteenth
century could find some eHd more fitting
than choking as the end of all efforts at
human reform. The combined effort OF
church and court, and prison and con-
Wet camp, does not suffice, In the case
OF criminals entered upon career OF
crime, to put any perceptible brake
upon the wheels OF their downward pro-
gress. 1t is one Of the most difficult, one
Of the most pressing and one Of the most
critical OF all questiOns-this question OF
dealing wi the criminal classes, par
ticularly the youthful criminals. The
attention, not only Of this present lesis-
lature, but Of the humane and the phil
anthrOpic all over Texas, lie specially d.
rected to the solution OF this problem.
Its great Importance, not alone to the
criminals who shall be experimel ted
with under its provisions, but to the fu-
ture Of Texas as well, lifts this lrgisa.
ton out of the narrow limits Of section
aIisn, Of political psrtIsanship Of every
kind, and invests 1t with the real digni-
ty OF universal issue. 1t is question
which concerns equally the moralist and
the political economist, the judge and
the parson, the mother and the social re-
former; the home, the school, the
church, the court and the Jail all have
an interest in this question. Ii Is not to
be expected that anything more than q
beginning will be made by this present
legislature. The elaboration and perfec-
ton OF q system OF wise prison reform
and reformatory for youthful criminals
is the work Of an age. None the less the
beginning must be made, ard for this
beginning Texas is looking to this pres
ent legislature. The wisdom Of the state
will look upon the work undertaken
now, the foundations laid, In no captious
carping spirit, but aware of the great
difficulties that lie In the way of success
full devisement and execution will hail
with gladness and desire to approve, all
that honestly bears upon this question
Of criminal class reformation.

The secret session business, In the

The cry for its abrogstion seems to be
urged more on account Of the wounded
vanity OF the politically curious than for
any very substantial reasons. One
serious evil that would follow the aboli-
ton Of secret sessions would be a cur
taiIment ofthe quill Of the special cor
respondent. As the case now stands he
can draw upon his imagination for his
facts almost without limit. When all
